Abstract
COVID-19, which is a consequence of infection with the novel viral agent SARS-CoV-2, first identified in China (Hubei Province), has been declared a pandemic by the WHO. As of September 10, 2020, over 70,000 cases and over 2000 deaths have been recorded in Poland. Of the many factors contributing to the level of transmission of the virus, the weather appears to be significant. In this work, we analyze the impact of weather factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and ground-level ozone concentration on the number of COVID-19 cases in Warsaw, Poland. The obtained results show an inverse correlation between ground-level ozone concentration and the daily number of COVID-19 cases.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:It must be emphasized that our research has some limitations. Warsaw, as the largest city in the country, is the main communication hub, and the mobility of its inhabitants is at a high level - many of them are commuters from surrounding regions. In addition, the inhabitants are characterized by different hygienic habits, lifestyle, profession, etc. Due to this fact, social factors, in addition to weather conditions, play a significant role in the spread of the virus.
